I never do my car. Don't know how to anyway even if I could be bothered! I have a bit of a strange relationship with time - my lounge clock is right about once every 8 days, it gains so I put it slow so it can catch up and then it gains again. If I forget to wind it, the chimes are wrong - it's a joke in out house - oh chiming 11, must be half past four!

My beloved kitchen clock is now permanently on 7.15 as I had to switch it off. It is a 1940s electric one and the face is falling out but for some reason I can't get it off the wall to fix it. Niether can hubs. I left it but it was making such a racket the other day I thought I'd best turn it off.

My bedroom clock is somewhere between 8-20 mins fast, not quite sure how much as by the time I get downstairs in the morning, the time isn't the same any more.

I think if anyone else had posted that I would have been amazed, but....

I remember they tried this out (for 1 year only I think) and it was a nightmare in Scotland. We had children going to school in the dark so there were a few instances of kids being knocked down. Industry were not happy either as they were having to burn the factory/workplace lights for longer so it was costing more. These are the main arguments against switching from BST but there ( as I remember ) were loads more so I voted NO

Hmmmmm On the one hand it would be usefull to be on the same time as england..... for example tv, If something is on at 9pm uk time here it is 10pm so i would get to bed earlier ...... but i would always be late.... Its nice being an hour ahead of you all.... and i do love winter evenings when you snuggle down in front of the fire and go late night shopping , everything looks so much more inviting..
